There was nothing rash about it. Any lawyer will tell you that under the threat of legal action, you remove the threat, _then_ look in to creative ways to fix the problem. There was not an immediate answer to hand. As a result, Mark did the right thing and protected the FreeBSD project from any potential legal action until a better solution can be found. > Any claims of license violations -- which, according to Mark, lead to the > hasty removal -- should've been addressed by using FORBIDDEN/IGNORE instead. Perhaps you're right. However, I'd like to hear the opinion of a lawyer as to whether this is acceptable or not. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
